Chen Jinjun's first reaction was: "There is fraud in it."
Huo Tingyu nodded. He felt the same way, but he had to go.
At this moment, in the Marshal's Mansion in Chaiyang, Jiang Lu was throwing things angrily.
Jiang Yue on the side looked at his father's angry look, then looked at the mess on the ground and rolled his eyes.
"Didn't you invite Huo Tingyu to come to your house for a detailed discussion? It will be on our territory at that time, and it is not up to us to decide what we want to do?"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Lu slapped him on the face.
"Are you trying to kill me? Are you totally ignorant of the world?"
I saw Jiang Lu looking at his son with hatred: "Don't even think about it, how many pairs of eyes in the entire northwest are looking at Chaiyang and Yongzhou. Today something happened to Huo Tingyu in Chaiyang, and tomorrow outside Chaiyang City
There will be a coalition of other warlords throughout the northwest!"
Jiang Yue looked at his father timidly and said hesitantly: "Then Huo Tingyu is so valued?"
Hearing what he said, Jiang Lu became even more angry. He just wished he could open his son's head and see what was inside.
"Chaiyang has just been defeated by Yongzhou. Now is the time when a pack of wolves is waiting for us. Something happened to Huo Tingyu. Why don't the other warlords take advantage of our illness and kill us?"
"You kid only cares about raising dogs all day long. You have no so-called political sense in your brain."
Jiang Lu looked at Jiang Yue, his eyes full of anger.
Jiang Yue looked at the slap his father had just raised and couldn't help but wince: "That's not what I meant."
Seeing Jiang Yue's weak look, Jiang Lu frowned. He couldn't understand why a person like him would give birth to a waste like Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue was not stupid, and he could naturally see the dissatisfaction and condemnation of him in his father's eyes. He quickly explained: "We don't necessarily have to do it, my dog!"
He suddenly thought of a wonderful idea and looked at Jiang Lu with interest: "What my son means is that we close the door and let the dogs out. If other warlords investigate, they will say that the beasts have gone wild, and we, father and son,
There is no relationship between them."
Hearing Jiang Yue's approach, Jiang Lu couldn't help but touch his chin.
He couldn't deny that Jiang Yue's method was indeed good, but how could he be sure that Huo Tingyu would be injured?
Moreover, Huo Tingyu's cannons are Yongzhou's real external deterrent weapons.
Take the scene on the front line in the morning, Jiang Lu felt powerless for the first time on the battlefield.
"Foreign guns and artillery, they don't have the grace of our ancestors at all. How about I say that the Huo family is becoming more and more in decline now?"
Jiang Lu spat fiercely.
Jiang Yue looked at Jiang Lu's appearance and blinked thoughtfully.
"Dad, tell me, is my method feasible?"
Jiang Lu took a deep breath. He also knew that the problem Chongyang was facing now could be solved without scolding Huo Tingyu, so he began to think about countermeasures to give himself the greatest possibility of making a comeback.
"Actually... your method is not impossible, but you must ensure that you can kill all the people who come here at once, otherwise..."
Jiang Lu's eyes were gloomy, and he had to do this to eradicate the roots. Otherwise, not only would he not be able to retain Chai Yang's strength, but he would also lose his head.
Suddenly, an idea gradually emerged in Jiang Lu's head, and his eyes widened in excitement.
"Come, come here." Jiang Lu raised his fingers at Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue leaned over.
"Don't Huo Tingyu like his younger siblings? Let's see if his method can be accepted by the common people." Jiang Lu smiled sinisterly.
"What dad means is..." Jiang Yue somewhat understood Jiang Lu's intention, and smiled particularly sinisterly, "My son understands, let him do it now, I don't believe Huo Tingyu can stop him."
Jiang Lu nodded, looked at Jiang Yue's leaving figure, and sighed secretly.
One thing to say, why would he be willing to lose to Huo Tingyu?
It's just that Huo Tingyu didn't know where he got so many cannons. Are these cannons not included in Yongzhou's armament expenditure?
Obtaining these weapons is not just a matter of money.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lu squinted his eyes, with calculation flashing in his eyes.
He figured out that Chen Jinjun might have paid for these cannons for Huo Tingyu, and she was really willing to give them up.
However, Huo Tingyu was also very thoughtful. Chen Jinjun paid for it, so naturally it was not recorded in the Yongzhou government's account. Instead, it was recorded in Chen Jinjun's business account. Naturally, he had no way of knowing.
It takes women to win things.
Jiang Lu made a sound of disdain and left the Marshal's Mansion with a gloomy look.
On the other side, inside Huo Mansion in Yongzhou, Chen Jinjun watched Huo Tingyu and his men discussing how to negotiate terms with Chai Yang in order to accept Chai Yang's surrender.
Chen Jinjun sat aside and listened carefully, feeling that there was something not so simple behind this matter.
"What percentage of the tax does the owner plan to charge for doing business in Chaiyang?" Huo Tingyu asked her.
Chen Jinjun slowly shook his head: "I always feel that Jiang Lu is conspiring this time."
Hearing what she said, Huo Tingyu couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.
"What does the boss mean... Chai Yang's Yi Zhan didn't show up?" The master on the side looked at Chen Jinjun.
In fact, before tonight, Chen Jinjun didn't know that the master who usually looked like the housekeeper of Huo Mansion was actually the military leader of the entire Yongzhou.
Chen Jinjun nodded: "It ended too hastily."
She raised her head and looked at Huo Tingyu. Huo Tingyu nodded: "There is something wrong indeed."
The master leisurely shook his small folding fan and fell into deep thought while looking at the thick pile of information on the table.
"I'm afraid it's a scam." The master closed the folding fan in his hand and tapped it in his palm.
Huo Tingyu poured Chen Jinjun a cup of tea naturally, not caring about the disbelieving looks cast by the sergeants behind him.
The master smiled enigmatically. He never imagined that the two people who were once diametrically opposed would now be together, discussing how to deal with the outside world in unison, and then move forward together in this troubled world.
Chen Jinjun tilted his head, drank tea silently, and said quietly for a long time: "Jiang Lu... may spread rumors and make the commander a target of public criticism."
"What rumors can he spread?" Huo Tingyu was puzzled.
Chen Jinjun looked at Huo Tingyu quietly, smiled slightly, and pointed at himself.
Huo Tingyu understood what Chen Jinjun meant and couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that my boss understands something?"
He looked at Chen Jinjun with a bit of expectation, but Chen Jinjun didn't intend to respond to him. He put down the teacup and avoided Huo Tingyu's blazing gaze.
"I believe Jiang Lu can take the position of commander-in-chief. He is not a fool."
Seeing Chen Jinjun escaping, Huo Tingyu sighed silently in his heart and walked back to the large table on the other side.
Chen Jinjun stared blankly at Huo Tingyu and his men discussing together, and for a moment his heartbeat began to speed up inexplicably.
She took a deep breath and suppressed the throbbing in her heart.
